“Not really sleepy, just wanted to make sure everyone's rescued,” Paisley said.
She rubbed her eyes, her pheromones carrying a drowsy laziness, yet still tinged with stubborn persistence, and
said, “Even if I'm tired, | have to wait for him to cback.”
Her wolf ears lightly flicked.
Adelaide handed her a cup of coffee, her fir pheromones wrapped in the peculiar concern of a mate.
Through their mating bond, she sensed Lance's general whereabouts.
She said softly, “The plan went smoothly. Everyone should be rescued. But | don’t know how many there are,
whether Ramona’s mother survived, or what secrets are hidden in the west courtyard’s basement.”
As she spoke, her fir pheromones rippled-a signal from their mating bond that Lance was nearing.
Paisley took the coffee. “Wish | could check myself.”

Caldwell spoke up, “Ssights are better left unseen.”
His wolf claws faintly curled.
Whether seen or not, the horrors were real.
Adelaide's fir pheromones tightened. Through their bond, she sensed Lance’s cedar pheromones crossing the
pack boundary.
“He’s back!” Adelaide stood abruptly, her eyes bright.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe hurried toward the study door.
She didn’t need to listen- their bond already told her.

Sure enough, Lance stood at the door, clad in black, his cedar pheromones carrying a hint of blood, yet softening

His wolf claws, still extended, gleamed faintly as he reached to push the door
open.
Seeing the door ajar, he grasped Adelaide’s hand. The bond between them flared with heat.
In a gentle voice reserved only for his mate, he said, “Let's talk inside.”
Everyone sensed the gravity on Lance's face, guessing he'd uncovered something crucial at Madison's mansion.
After sitting down, Adelaide handed him coffee and said, “Drink this. I'll have someone bring you shot food.”
Lance, who hadn't eaten or drunk in the basement dungeon, drained the cup in one gulp.
His voice rasped with thirst.
Once the omega left to arrange the food, Lance said, “Adelaide, Cassius’s family is safe. They weren't tortured or
beaten, just locked up and frightened.”
“Really? Cassius was kidnapped?” Adelaide’s eyes widened in surprise.
“Yes. Fortunately, he was there to comfort them. Otherwise, his mate and children would have been terrified,”
Lance added, refilling his cup before continuing, “The basement dungeon held mostly Hunt's breeders, now
rescued. Many are injured or disabled-Madison’s cruelty knows no bounds.”
“Also, the west courtyard’s basement contained weapons, armor, and gunpowder. | think they planned to
infiltrate the capital with rebels, using Madison's mansion as a supply point for an inside-job attack.”
“So it is!” Adelaide had long suspected the west courtyard, but Madison's brazenness shocked her.
Who would think to hide weapons in Madison’s mansion? Adelaide remarked, “So reckless, yet it's the safest
spot-no one would search Madison's estate.”
Caldwell explained, “Who'd dare search Madison’s mansion without
grave reason?
